Ive tried but it wont hold much more, 3400rpm 2step and more and it spins, is my problem the antisquad? is a transbreak the only thing to fix that?

need video of the harder launches where it spun. otherwise it's all speculation. have you tried no preload, or even a gap between the spring and bar?

what is the condition of this track you're on? radials need good prep. I had nights in my s10 where it wouldn't hook at all 1 week after I was running mid 1.4 60'. I couldn't hook the radiails, but people were still hauling *** on slicks.

its not even a track honestly, they will clean it by hand with a broom and they have a small manual hand tank sprayer with VP traccion compound they spray the first 60'

anyone else out there hooking on drag radials? You may be pissing in the fan trying to hook a drag radial on their surface.

You made me think, i think i have the fastest 60' from the vehicles on radials

Is there a difference in anyway if i convert it flip axle? would the antisquad change any?

given your surface, I'd strap a 29x10.5 or larger slick on it and see what it does. A flip kit would change things, but probably nothing you couldnt tune around without the flip kit. if you're the quickest radial to the 60', it sounds like the surface just isn't there for a drag radial to bite like they need.
